LumaFusion 1.7 is now available in the App Store. This update includes great new features like search and sort in the library, soft edges and curved corners in cropping, and our new integration with Storyblocks, a great royalty-free library of video, audio and sound effects. A sample of clips are included free, with a low-cost subscription available in-app for access to the full library

I shot some GoPro footage of the birds in our yard and started stringing it together in Luma.

Ill post it later but I had cross faded between clips, didnt like the effect and pulled the cross fade out to make it take longer. What happened though is the l o n g fade in makes the bird in that clip look like its being "beamed" into the frame 'a la' Star Trek, or maybe like a ghost suddenly materializing in front of you.

Making the transisition longer can affect how they perform, possibly giving some results that would be useful artistically....

well the birds wont cooperate for some more footage, so that's on hold.

BUT I have noticed one thing with the stretching and the effects I mentioned above^^

that "fade in" from stretching the cross fade is really only gonna work when the camera/POV is identical from the shot your fading out of......

SO all the clips I used for part of my short test film are from the GoPro being positioned for a good camera angle, so the back ground and all that do not change or move, just the birds, bugs and trees.....

Guessing the l o n g crossfade from one camera setup to another may come across as.... weird. YMMV, but do try it. If it stinks then delete the transition and try something else......
